Many industries have grown to incorporate evolving technology in their businesses, improving their ability to help customers and run operations. The plumbing and heating industry is no different. One of the most important jobs a plumbing and heating company like Cocalico can perform for its customers is preventative maintenance. This requires us to be able to diagnosis problems before they become issues for our customers, and with the help of emerging technologies, we can do this sooner, less invasively, and with more care to avoid unnecessary costs and work for both us and our customers.<\/p>\n
So, how exactly has technology helped us be better plumbers?<\/p>\n
Some of the most common causes of sewer problems include damage to the sewer and drainage pipes, tree roots that invade your property\u2019s septic system, or foreign materials that wind up in your drainage system. Each of these can be difficult to assess without gaining access to the pipe, drainage, or septic system first; and that takes significant time.<\/p>\n
First plumbers need to gain access to the suspect pipe\/system\/drainage, which may involve digging or dismantling. But before that can happen, it has to be located, first; and in the case of a clogged pipe, it may be buried under your yard somewhere. Once it\u2019s found and then accessed, then it\u2019s easier to diagnose the problem. For obvious reasons, we want to cause as little disruption to a customer\u2019s home and life as possible. That means finding quicker, more efficient means of locating and identifying the actual problem.<\/p>\n
Today, we\u2019re able to use the latest technology to assess a problem to remove the guesswork. We\u2019re able to locate problem parts of the system, address the issue, and offer you custom solutions to minimize disruption.<\/p>\n
Cocalico Plumbing & Heating has equipped its technicians with sewer cables housing tiny video cameras. These cameras can transmit video to a separate monitor that allows our plumbers to see the interior of pipes, giving them convenient access without the mess of dismantling a system or digging up your yard.<\/p>\n
This is how the cameras work:<\/p>\n
Much like a doctor who can check inside your ears, nose, and mouth with their otoscope, this camera provides plumbers with instant access to hard-to-reach areas in record time. Every detail the camera feeds back to the monitor can be used to solve your problem. This is a huge asset because the bulk of any plumbing system will be hidden from view and hard to access without significant troubleshooting.<\/p>\n
The advantages of a camera inspection are:<\/p>\n
Along with drainage cameras, we have the capability to locate invaluable \u201chot spots\u201d on your property, such as sondes, inspection cameras, active power lines, and utility lines. This means no huge excavation projects or accident loss of utilities when an important pipe or line is severed during the work. Older technology only gives you numbers and graphs you\u2019re forced to interpret, but with our technology, we have the ability to locate those hot spots with pinpoint accuracy.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re having issues with your drainage or sewer system<\/a>, make sure the plumbers you hire are invested in perfecting their craft and resolving your issues quickly and efficiently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Many industries have grown to incorporate evolving technology in their businesses, improving their ability to help customers and run operations.
